Patent number: 10666600Abstract: Embodiments provide integrated reply functionality within the context of a contact card or panel. Contact information is provided for display in the contact card (e.g., a portion of a user interface of a computing device). The contact information is associated with a contact. The contact information identifies one or more transport modes for communication with the contact. In some embodiments, the computing device receives a request from a user to communicate with the contact via at least one selected transport mode. Based on the received request, the computing device provides an input field within the contact card. In other embodiments, the transport mode is automatically selected and the input field is displayed. Data from the user is received into the input field for communication to the contact. The computing device sends the data received into the input field to the contact via the selected transport mode.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gregory Alan Howard, Joseph Spencer King, Yili Aiwazian, Ian Hunter Todd, Naud Frijlink, Shawna Julie Davis, Christer Garbis
